It's unable to write SPCHDATA.DAT. Any solution?

Hey, you got further than me. It won't even begin to install on my
machine.

I had to go in and terminate all user processes. Time to drag out
End-It-All, I guess.

I had to reinstall NBA Live2k5 recently (actually, I wouldn't have *had*
to, but I did anyway) and it got stuck on a particular file. Turned out
the disc had a smudge on it.
